Question Description

Topic: Describe the data/information that flows between health care organizations.The Week 3 readings focus on data – data quality, data storage, and data records (EHRs). For your Stage 2 assignment, you will identify external organizations with which the Midtown Family Clinic needs to share data, identify what data elements will be shared, and whether the data is going to the external organization or is coming from the external organization. In this discussion, we will examine what interoperability (data sharing) is, why it is important, and why it is so difficult. First, you should conduct some research and find out what interoperability is and how it impacts or is used in health care systems. Then,to gain an understanding of the major challenges with sharing data go to: http://afiahealth.com/challenges-sharing-data-separate-ehrs/GROUP 3: Using a rehabilitation facility as the organization,List three data elements (or items of information) that the rehab facility would need to receive with a patient referral [Review what others have posted and try to come up with some different data elements]List one unique (not previously listed by another respondent) data element that the rehab facility would need to provide to an external organization, and identify what type of organization that is and the purpose of the data sharing.Choose one aspect of interoperability that you found in your research and explain what an EHR system for the rehab facility would need to be able to do to exchange information with other organizations.GROUPS 1, 2 and 4: In replying to the postings, you are to critically evaluate all of the following for at least two main postings:Are the data elements listed appropriate to the information that a rehab facility would receive with a patient referral? If not, explain.Is data element that is identified to be provided to an external organization appropriate for sharing with the identified organization, and is it related to the stated purpose? If not, explain.Does the explanation of what the rehab facility’s EHR system would need to be able to do to exchange information with other organizations correctly relate to the component of interoperability chosen? Explain your response.EVERYONE: Review the criteria in the Discussion Grading Rubric, and reply to those who critique your work or post other points of view.

Submitting Your Assignment

Describe the legal and ethical dilemma discussed in the case study. Analyze the key ways in which a patient’s right to die relates to this specific case.

/in /by

Question Description

Deciding to place a loved one into a long-term care facility can be extremely difficult. Even more difficult is the thought of your loved one’s rights being violated while in long-term care. Patient healthcare rights are not as clearly defined as one would expect, and there are long-term care and other healthcare facilities that create their own sets of patient rights. However, there are also certain indisputable rights afforded to patients across the board.

Read the case study titled “A Legal and Ethical Dilemma”, located on pages 463-465 of your text. Next, use the Internet or Strayer Library to research information on a patient’s right to die.

Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you:

  1. Describe the legal and ethical dilemma discussed in the case study. Analyze the key ways in which a patient’s right to die relates to this specific case.
  2. From your research, specify the potential repercussions for failure to comply with the wishes of a patient who has requested to withhold a life-sustaining procedure. Next, take a position on whether the patient’s right to die or the patient’s right to be protected from harm should take precedence in this case. Provide a rationale for your position.
  3. Imagine that you are a part of the ethics committee investigating this case. Determine the main facts pertaining to the issue that the committee should consider. Suggest one (1) step that the facility should take next in order to resolve the dilemma. Provide a rationale for your response.
  4. Use at least three (3) quality academic resources. Note: Wikipedia and other similar websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Identify the factors that have led to the current realities of long-term care in the United States.
  • Assess the various stakeholder groups of long-term care along with the nature of the relationship(s).
  • Evaluate the impact of litigation on long-term care providers and practices.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in long-term care management.
  • Write clearly and concisely about long-term care management using proper writing mechanics.
